Jenna Allerson, our newest owner of Apple Valley Moms on the Run and Farmington Moms on the Run, recently shared her story on becoming a business owner in the Sun Thisweek newspaper. After struggling with postpartum depression after the birth of her oldest son, Jenna became interested in holistic medicine and fitness and started running with Moms on the Run. “Moms on the Run was really part of my journey to help me kind of get out of that place. Exercise was a critical component for me to be healthy for myself and my family,” she said. Now Jenna is excited to grow the Moms on the Run community in Apple Valley and Farmington.

 As a retired nurse of 41 years, St. Cloud (MN) Moms on the Run member Melanie Neubauer has spent her life helping others. This year has been no exception. Consumed with caring for her in-laws after medical emergencies in Arizona and now in Montana, Melanie has stayed committed to running — and her St. Cloud Moms on the Run team — despite the distance.
 At Moms on the Run, we're passionate about our belief that "healthy moms make healthy families." Jacksonville (FL) Moms on the Run member Andrea Benitez, who is training for her first marathon, recently shared this inspiring message regarding a conversation she had with her young daughter. Kudos to all of you who are modeling fitness and self care to your families and friends.
"My daughter rode her bike alongside me while I ran today. She asked me if I always knew I wanted to be a teacher and a runner. (She called me a runner! Like it’s just who I am and was always meant to be!) She also asked me if tomorrow is a “running day.” Even though she grumbles because I may not be there when she wakes up, I know I am teaching her an important lesson in self care, not selflessness. All too often women and mothers are encouraged to give up themselves to serve others, especially their children. What a gift we give them when they see us breaking that cycle. Moms on the Run plays such an important role in opening that world up to so many of us. Thank you."

For most people, COVID-19 has meant cancelled events, groups and memberships. But for two former members, the pandemic has created an opportunity to join something they've been missing on their calendars: Moms on the Run. The pivot to virtual training by Moms on the Run this spring gave both DeNae vanWestrienen of Evergreen, CO, and Lynnae Widen, of San Jose, CA, the opportunity to jump back in and re-join their former MOTR families, Blaine and Fridley. Read on to hear more of their stories.

One year ago, when Cassie Johnson joined Chanhassen Moms on the Run, she admits she couldn't run the two-minute interval as part of the learn-to-run program. This past weekend, she ran for two hours — completing her first 10-mile run and virtual race! We will never tire of these stories that show the power of the human spirit and our Moms on the Run community. Here is Cassie's story in her own words. |
